Daytime Camp
Started For
Local Youths
Provides Opportunity For Boys
To Attend Typical Summer
Camp Without Leaving Community.
Open for all boys of the community,
a "Camp-at-Home," daytime camp for
North Canton boys," has been set up
near the local swimming pool, under
the supervision of Jack Coughlin, director of boys' activities at the Community Building.
The plan was devised to provide
an opportunity for boys unable to attend a summer camp to have almost
the same thing without having to
leave the community.
Each boy will attend for a one-week
period and will take part in competitive sports and handcraft.
"Such day camps are generally held
in a building," stated Coughlin, "but
I believe this is something new and
different for North Canton."
Based on an all-day prqgram, there
will be one week'periods, Wednesday
to Wednesday, all activity being centered behind the pool.
On one day of the week, there will
be an all-day trip to some park, lake
or nearby factory, all expenses incurred being taken out of the registration fee required of each attending
boy.
The camp schedule is as follows:
9 a.m., roll call and announcements,
10 a.m., competitive sports and
handcraft.
11:45 a.m. lunch, either at home or
on the grounds.
12:30 p.m., rest period.
1:30 p.m., roll call for afternoon
session.
2 p.m., competitive sports and hand
craft.
4 p.m., disband for the day.
A definite schedule has been set up
governing participation in the various
activities so that each boy will be
certain to partake in the outlined activity. However, should there be a
conflict in time for the events allowance will be made. For example,
should a boy belong to a ball team
and a game going on at the time
activity is to change, he will be allowed to finish the game and then join
his group in whatever they might be
doing.
All handcraft materials will be
furnished for ring-making, soap carving, wood burning, etc., while sports
will consist of softball, goofy golf,
swimming, horseshoes, etc.
Mr. Coughlin, together with Jack
Zengler and Bill Stull, boy leaders,
will be in charge of the camp.
Registration may be made at the
Community Building, main tent behind the pool, or through The Sun
office. The fee is thirty-five cents for
members and fifty cents for non-members.

Taking the Romance Out of
a Life Guard's Life.
Recently In
this column
I discussed
the Community
Building's big
swimming pool
and what a wonderful thing it
means to North
Canton. Today
I am taking life
guards and
male escorts as
my subject.
There are life
guards and
"near life guards" at every summer
resort. I have heard some remarkable
tales about public bathing beaches
and non-swimming life guards. A
few years ago shortly after the present Mayor of New York took office
he was astonished to learn that 17
life guards employed by the city were
unable to swim. Of course he promptly fired • them. Politics aside, that's
one thing must be said in Mayor Fio-
rello H. LaGuardia's favor, he demands service, and a four-flusher
doesn't linger long on the pay-roll if
the eagle gaze of the Mayor rests
upon him.
Corrigan At Dublin
DUBLIN, IRELAND—Douglas Corrigan, 31-year-old Californian, is shown
holding down the guest seat of a
jaunting car in the Irish capital here
last week. Corrigan added a unique
chanter in the history of lone Atlantic fliers when he completed a trip
from New York to Baldonnel Airfield, Dublin, in his 9-year-old Curtiss
Robin plane, in 28 hours and 13 minutes. This picture was flown from
Foynes, Ireland to New York by the
British "Pickaback" plane Mercury.

In Meyers Lake Park Tonight.
Dancing and Fireworks.
Charles Sawyer, Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio against
Martin L. Davey, will speak this Wednesday night in Meyers Lake park.
There will be band music, an orchestra for the dancing and a display
of fireworks. Everything is free. The
public cordially invited.
. CATCH 215 FISH
There is a. difference between a professional giglo and a "near life
guard": The giglo dances and acts as
escort to wealthy women, young, and
not so young, for a certain sum of
money. Many of them are blackmailers and they learned unsavory
tricks in South America, where the
majority of them were born. They
confine their work to New York city,
as a rule, and although despised by
American men, they seem to possess
a certain attraction for some American women. "Human parasites" is a
fitting name for them.
Understand, I am not knocking
clean, decent young Americans who
act as professional escorts to wealthy
young women, and who dance and
dine with them. These young men
need the money to complete their education, or until they can secure a
permanent position.
It is a sideline with them and they
work for a bureau in New York. If
they are guilty of flirting, or attempt
by their manner or word of speech
to impress a young lady in the hope
of marriage, the manager of the
bureau fires them—promptly! The
young men receive $8 dollars a night,
$10 a day. The young lady pays all
expenses. It is estimated that 2,000
such young men are "on call" by the
bureau.

When this writer was much younger
than he is today he visited every summer resort on the New Jersey coast
from Atlantic Highlands to Cape May
Point. At one resort they had a hand- I story "ofjudith Peyton and her strug-

whispered that he was a Count and }n the present.
that he was in America earning, his
own way because he refused to marry
a certain Countess his family had selected for him.
His face seemed familiar, so I had
a confidential chat with the manager
of one of the large hotels. "You are
right, Ben. He is a phony. Can't
swim a stroke, but he has 'the manner grand,' and he dances divinely. On
the beach he is always accompanied
by a strong swimmer. If any young
lady yells for help the water duck
goes to her rescue and the Count consoles her when she reaches the beach.
In Fall, Winter and Spring he drives
a truck in Philadelphia for an Italian
produce and fruit commission merchant, who bye-the-bye, is a silent
partner in this hotel. It is understood
that if he permits a young woman to
get too deeply interested in him he
is to be fired."

Sheriff's Son,
Drowns Thursday
Swimming 200 Feet From Shore
In Lake Cable, Youth Calls
For Help But Sinks Before
Aid Arrives.
Joseph T. Nist, Jr., 15, son of
Stark county's sheriff, drowned last
Thursday, while swimming in Lake
Cable, northeast of Canton.
The youth was swimming about 200
feet from shore in 20 feet of water
when suddenly he called fOr help but
sank before the guard could reach him
in a boat.
Diving equipment and a resuscita-
tor were rushed to the lake by Canton
Jiolice but the divers were unable to
ocate the body.
Grappling hooks were used by two
deputy sheriffs from a rowboat and
the body was finally recovered as both
Sheriff and Mrs. Nist were watching.
Young Nist was a student at Staunton (Va.) Military academy and with
a schoolmate had been taken to the
lake by Mrs. Nist. Upon her return,
search for her son's body was in
progress.

SECCOMBE BATTLING
Tells Republicans Thom Beat
Ake By 35,0u0 Votes.
The Women's Republican club of
Canton held its annual candidates'
meeting in the Courtland hotel on
Friday night, July 22. All candidates
were introduced.
Mayor James Seccombe, Republican
candidate for Congress, made a shor.
address in which he asserted he would
be representative of the whole people.
He asserted that a Republican Congress would cause an immediate business upturn. He claimed that the people were tired of W. P. A. and P. W.
A. existence and wanted real jobs in
private industry at living wages. He
charged the Democratic Congressman
with wilfully misrepresenting the extent to which the municipalities and
other governmental sub-divisions could
sponsor W. P. A. projects. He pointed
out that the Constitution of Ohio prohibits cities and other sub-divisions
from borrowing in excess of the constitutional limitation; as a result,
most cities are nivf compelled to have
a vote of the people on all projects
of any size before work can be initiated. '
In closing, he (stated that the Republican candidate for Congress (Ross
Ake) two years :ago.lost the district
by 35,000 votes and promised to make
a two-fisted fight to recapture the
vote lost by that candidate.
HOLMNSERViCES
Held Saturday Afternoon At
Zion Reformed Church.
Funeral services for Lewis Clark
Holben, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Holben, who drowned last
Wednesday at Kimmel's lake near
Hartville, were held on Saturday afternoon at the Zion Reformed church.
The Rev. Melvin E. Beck officiated.
Clark and three brothers, Ignace
of Greentown, Charles, Jr., and Richard, went to the lake to enjoy a swim.
After a short time Clark called out
that he was going down and sank
from sight.
Ignace immediately went to his aid
but so exhausted himself that Charles
also sped to the rescue. As soon as
they had brought Clark to shore, they
called the sheriff's office and a few
minutes later, two highway patrolmen appeared and rushed the youth
to Mercy hospital.
Here every method possible was
tried to revive him but failed.

They Want Mosier
THE leading editorial in the Cleveland Plain Dealer on Thursday,
July 21, was headed "Mosier On
Merit." As every person of intelligence knows, the Plain Dealer is not
in the habit of praising a man in public life unless he has done something
to merit commendation.
After carefully examining the record of Congressman-at-Large Harold
G. Mosier the Plain Dealer Begins its
editorial with the following words;
"One of the certainties of the Ohio
primary election should be the renom-
ination of Harold G. Mosier to succeed himself as Congressman-at-
Large. This state has no more useful member of the House now finishing his first term at Washington. It
would be a sacrifice of trained experience to refuse him a place in the next
Congress. His defeat now would
mean that, in all probability, Ohio
would be deprived of any representation on a committee (rivers and harbors) which in every session handles
legislation of deep interest to every
section of Ohio."
The Plain Dealer lists some of the
excellent things Harold G. Mosier
has done for the people of Ohio since
he has been in Congress, and the list
if complete would fill a column. The
editorial concludes as follows: "His
record is predominantly so sound and
progressive and effective that we feel
it would be a grave error and an injustice to the state were Ohio Democrats not to renominate him for a
second term."

Local Anglers Report Fishing Good
Off Pelee Island.
Fishing off Pelee Island last Thursday, nine local businessmen and Monte Cross of Canton pulled in a string
of 215 fish.
It was necessary for the men to use
two boats and therein lies a tale.
Elias Schafer was supposed to prepare the lunch, which he did. However, due to the separation of the
boats, only those in the boat with Mr.
Schafer ate lunch.
When the boats contacted each
other around G p.m. one of the men
suggested to the occupants in the
other boat that they help defray the
expense of the lunch only to learn
that they had not eaten any of it.
Those who made the trip besides
Mr. Cross were: William Bonnell,
Dr. L. H. Hupp, Adam Willaman, Foster Crawford, Dr. L. L. Frick, Roy
Harpold, Maynard Hummel, Elias
Schafer, and Roland Smiley, all of
North Canton.

In such places as Atlantic City,
Ocean City, Asbury Park and Coney
Island the life guard secures his position through political influence or on
the recommendation of some man with
much money invested in the neighborhood. The majority of them must be
good, strong swimmers, although
there are others more at home wading
in shallow water than in breasting the
breakers.
The pay is small in many seaside
resorts, but as they get board and
room the life guards are satisfied. At
night they visit the ball-room and
dance, but they are not expected to
take advantage of dance-room
acquaintance to speak to young ladies
or matrons if he meets them on street
or beach.
Whispering "sweet nothings" into
the small shell-like ears of the damsel
is prohibited. I questioned a life
guard years ago and learned that
while young women of the "upper
ten" are pleasant they draw the line
at familiarity, and that they would
quickly report a young man if he paid
them compliments on their looks or
on the gowns they wear. "You dance
well" is permissible—nothing more.
FIRE DESTROYS BARN
Fire Department Saves Five
Other Buildings.
A large barn on the farm of Charles Warstler, four miles east of here,
was completely destroyed by fire
after being struck by lightning shortly after 7:00 o'clock last Friday evening.
Quick work on the part of the
North Canton fire department, who
were summoned to the scene, saved
five other buildings close to the destroyed barn. ,
A large straw stack and several
timbers were still smouldering Saturday morning.
Most of the farming equipment,
three horses and a bull were taken out
of the barn before the conflagration
reached its heighth.
Mr. Warstler had recently finished
threshing and part of the wheat which
had been stored in the barn was destroyed as were about 100 bushels of
old oats.
A new hay rake, mower, two plows,
and a bob sled burned when the heat
became too intense to allow firemen
to get them out.
Mr. Warstler stated that the loss
could not be estimated at this time
but is partially covered by insurance.

Various tricks are used by seaside
resorts to attract visitors, and furnishing masculine escorts is one of
them. Occasionally a romance develops, but the average father, if a man
of wealth, employs a detective agency
to get him information concerning the
young man, and if the latter is phony
the "romance" is shattered.
One chap I knew blessed the da,y he
went to Asbury Park, N. J., 45 years
ago. The daughter of a very wealthy
New Yorker saw him and engineered
an introduction. After they were
married his father-in-law bought a
dying daily newspaper and poured
several million dollars into it with
the result that when the former reporter died a few years ago he left
to his son a newspaper worth today
in the open market about $20,000,000.
The son ranks as one of the most
successful newspaper publishers in
the world, as did his dad, who had
less than $50 the day a wealthy
young woman saw him and "fell for
him." But such cases are rare, as
millions of young men are aware.

arriving in Cincinnati for a visit at
the zoo late that afternoon. The- contingent will camp at Ault park and
swim at the East Hills Y. M. C. A.
To See Bradley Stables
Leaving Cincinnati Wednesday
morning, the group will stop at the
Bradley stables enroute to Lexington,
Ky., and Kentucky State university.
Bera college and Boone Tavern will
be visited in the afternoon, the day's
journey winding up with camp at
Norris Park, Norris Dam, Tennessee.
Thursday they will take a trip
around Norris Lake, see the dam and
powerhouse and visit the city of Norris which is the center of TVA developments.
Alcoa, home of the Aluminum company of America will be visited Friday and camp will be made that
evening at Cades Cove and swimming
at Abram's Falls.
Climb Bald Mountain
Leaving camp early the next morning the boys will climb Gregory Bald
mountain, an elevation of 5,045 feet
and stay overnight atop the peak.
Breaking camp the next morning,
the journey will be continued to Gat-
linburg where they will swim in Little
Pidgeon river.
The next mountain climbing sortie
will be up Mt. LeComte, 6,593 feet,
where they will remain over night and
swim at Rainbow Falls.
The following day's trip will be
made to Lake Junalaska, N. C, visiting on the way Chimney Top, Indian
Gap, Newfound Gap, Clmgman's
Dome, and the Cherokee Indian reservation.
Visit Asheville
Leaving Cumberland Falls State
park, the campers will stop at Asheville, N. C, seeing Pisgah National
Forest, Lincoln Memorial university,
and Cumberland Gap which forms the
boundary for the states of Virginia,
Kentucky, and Tennessee.
Perryville Battlefield State Park is
scheduled for the next day's stop with
a visit to Danville on the way.
On the tenth day out, the boys will
again return to Ohio, seeing Fort Ancient, visiting Harrodsburg, Shaker-
town, High Bridge and Frankfort.
Return August 20
They will arrive back in North Canton around 4 p.m. August 20 after
seeing the penitentiary and Ohio
State university.
The boys who make the trip are
asked to bring the following: Three
heavy blankets, one pillow, three
shirts, extra pair trousers, gym shirts,
shorts, socks, gym shoes and heavy
shoes, swimming suit, towels, soap,
comb, tooth brush and paste, sweater
or jacket, and flashlight.
Leave Knives Behind
Though not necessary, the boys may
also bring cameras, canteens and field
glasses. However, they are asked not
to bring an axe, knife or matches
since those in charge of the trip will
carry these essentials.
Referring to the knives and axes,
Coughlin said there was too much of
a possibility of doing more harm than
good in the forests which will be visited if the boys were allowed indiscriminate use of these articles.
Besides the boys, there will be leaders and a driver. Jack Coughlin will
be in charge of the group. Paul Bailey, driver, and Walt Holstrum, cook.
The charge for the trip will be $18,
which includes all meals except lunch
the first day, each boy being expected
to bring this, fees, etc.

Water Polo Friday
Friday evening at 7:30 there will be
a water polo game at the pool. _ The
game will consist of four four-minute
periods. Captains of the girls' teams
are Dorothy McClelland and Annabelle Getz while Howard and Harold
Boeshart captain the boys' teams.
Watermelon Hunt
Thursday evening at 7:30 the annual watermelon hunt will be held.
Several weights will be tossed into
the pool and at a signal the contestants will start at a given point and
search for the weights.
Whoever finds a weight can exchange it for a juicy watermelon. This
contest is open to all swimmers.
East End Wins
The last place East Enders dropped
the league leading West Park ten, by
a close 2 to 1 score, Friday morning
at Witwer park, tallying two runs in
the final inning for their fourth win
of the season.
The game was scoreless until the
final frame when the East Enders enjoyed a rally that put them in the
lead, one which the West Park team
failed to overcome.
Despite their loss to the last place
club, Alvie Fye's club is leading the
parade with a five game margin.
All-Stars Lose
Burying a hapless All-Star team
under a barrage of base hits, the West
Park team took an easy 11 to 4 decision Monday morning at Witwer
park.
The All-Stars scored first in the
second inning but the West Parkers
came back with three in their half of
the same inning.
Undaunted, the Stars got to pitcher
McDowell for two tallies in the third
to tie the game but two more runs
by the West Park team were more
than enough to win. However, they
came back to add insult to misery by
pushing across six more runs in the
last four innings.

I daily newspaper possessing an
independent turn of mind. When
the Enquirer speaks it speaks for
thousands of men and women in the
southern part of Ohio. Discussing the
record made by Congressman-at-
Large Harold G. Mosier the Enquirer
said: "There are old heads among the
Democrats who contend that the
party has great need of sober, steadying influences, a kind of legislation
that Harold G. Mosier typifies."
In Ohio are many excellent newspapers, Republican, Democratic and
Independent, and in all my reading I
have not found a line reflecting on
the honesty or ability of Harold G.
Mosier, but I have read many editorials commending "a former farm
boy, now a man, fighting for the people of Ohio on the floor of Congress
and winning his fights."
XXX
THERE are three candidates on the
Democratic ticket for Congressman-at-Large. Every candidate
hopes for a large vote at the pri- j
mary on August 9 in order that the
will of the people may be expressed
in clear and understandable terms.
Beyond our repeated declaration in
favor of Harold G. Mosier for the
nomination for Congressman-at-
Large, this column has no advice to
give in the matter of the two other
men seeking the nomination.
This contest is of unusual importance—so important, in fact, that it
may well affect vitally the future of
the Democratic party in the Congressional delegation at Washington. If
Mosier is defeated it may mean that
the Republicans will have one, perhaps two, Congressmen-at-Large from
Ohio.
Democrats who believe that the
first duty of Democrats in a Democratic primary is to select a man who
can command enough independent
votes in November to be elected—
these men and women will vote for
Harold G. Mosier. They will vote for
him because in a contest in which
Democrats, Republicans as well as
Independents take part in November
he will be the stronger candidate.
The time has gone by for shutting
our eyes to facts. Ohio is a doubtful
state, and if the Democrats hope to
carry it they must nominate men
whose convictions coincide with those
of the mass of the voters. Harold G.
Mosier is one of these men. Right
there is one of the big issues of the
primary campaign.
XXX
Choice of a Governor
IT IS undeniable that the choice of a
Governor is essentially a personal
choice. The element of personality has never been absent in a campaign in Ohio; it has never been
otherwise than logically present and
important.
The people are always faced with
a choice between men, and it is natural—nor is it undesirable—that they
should be governed very largely by
their opinion and experience of the
personal merits of the men for whom
they vote, and the demerits, or supposed demerits, of the candidates
whom they reject.
It was a poet, Oliver Goldsmith,
who invented the slogan, "Measures,
not men," but Edmund Burke, a
statesman, denounced the watchword
as "cant" and the tendency of Englishmen was to agree with him. In the
United States the principle of delegation of authority has the effect to concentrate attention upon the qualities
of individuals rather than upon the
asservations of platforms, which often
assimilate very closely.
We may well deprecate conditions
in which charges of deceit, dishonesty,
selfishness, ignorance and unpatrio-
tism fill the air. When personality
descends to detraction, no good can
result. But no amount of concentration upon measures rather than men
can obscure the fact that our public
servants must and should be chosen
for their character and their wisdom,
and rejected when character and wisdom are lacking.
The people may err in their estimate of the persons who demand their
suffrage, but it is they who must decide who is the superior person, and
they will ever demand the best infor- I
mation on that point. I
Forty boys and girls took part in

Daytime Camp
Started For
Local Youths
Provides Opportunity For Boys
To Attend Typical Summer
Camp Without Leaving Community.
Open for all boys of the community,
a "Camp-at-Home," daytime camp for
North Canton boys," has been set up
near the local swimming pool, under
the supervision of Jack Coughlin, director of boys' activities at the Community Building.
The plan was devised to provide
an opportunity for boys unable to attend a summer camp to have almost
the same thing without having to
leave the community.
Each boy will attend for a one-week
period and will take part in competitive sports and handcraft.
"Such day camps are generally held
in a building," stated Coughlin, "but
I believe this is something new and
different for North Canton."
Based on an all-day prqgram, there
will be one week'periods, Wednesday
to Wednesday, all activity being centered behind the pool.
On one day of the week, there will
be an all-day trip to some park, lake
or nearby factory, all expenses incurred being taken out of the registration fee required of each attending
boy.
The camp schedule is as follows:
9 a.m., roll call and announcements,
10 a.m., competitive sports and
handcraft.
11:45 a.m. lunch, either at home or
on the grounds.
12:30 p.m., rest period.
1:30 p.m., roll call for afternoon
session.
2 p.m., competitive sports and hand
craft.
4 p.m., disband for the day.
A definite schedule has been set up
governing participation in the various
activities so that each boy will be
certain to partake in the outlined activity. However, should there be a
conflict in time for the events allowance will be made. For example,
should a boy belong to a ball team
and a game going on at the time
activity is to change, he will be allowed to finish the game and then join
his group in whatever they might be
doing.
All handcraft materials will be
furnished for ring-making, soap carving, wood burning, etc., while sports
will consist of softball, goofy golf,
swimming, horseshoes, etc.
Mr. Coughlin, together with Jack
Zengler and Bill Stull, boy leaders,
will be in charge of the camp.
Registration may be made at the
Community Building, main tent behind the pool, or through The Sun
office. The fee is thirty-five cents for
members and fifty cents for non-members.

Taking the Romance Out of
a Life Guard's Life.
Recently In
this column
I discussed
the Community
Building's big
swimming pool
and what a wonderful thing it
means to North
Canton. Today
I am taking life
guards and
male escorts as
my subject.
There are life
guards and
"near life guards" at every summer
resort. I have heard some remarkable
tales about public bathing beaches
and non-swimming life guards. A
few years ago shortly after the present Mayor of New York took office
he was astonished to learn that 17
life guards employed by the city were
unable to swim. Of course he promptly fired • them. Politics aside, that's
one thing must be said in Mayor Fio-
rello H. LaGuardia's favor, he demands service, and a four-flusher
doesn't linger long on the pay-roll if
the eagle gaze of the Mayor rests
upon him.

DUBLIN, IRELAND—Douglas Corrigan, 31-year-old Californian, is shown
holding down the guest seat of a

from New York to Baldonnel Airfield, Dublin, in his 9-year-old Curtiss
Robin plane, in 28 hours and 13 minutes. This picture was flown from

British "Pickaback" plane Mercury.

In Meyers Lake Park Tonight.
Dancing and Fireworks.
Charles Sawyer, Democratic candidate for Governor of Ohio against

There will be band music, an orchestra for the dancing and a display
of fireworks. Everything is free. The
public cordially invited.
. CATCH 215 FISH
There is a. difference between a professional giglo and a "near life
guard": The giglo dances and acts as
escort to wealthy women, young, and
not so young, for a certain sum of
money. Many of them are blackmailers and they learned unsavory
tricks in South America, where the
majority of them were born. They
confine their work to New York city,
as a rule, and although despised by
American men, they seem to possess
a certain attraction for some American women. "Human parasites" is a
fitting name for them.
Understand, I am not knocking
clean, decent young Americans who
act as professional escorts to wealthy
young women, and who dance and
dine with them. These young men
need the money to complete their education, or until they can secure a
permanent position.
It is a sideline with them and they
work for a bureau in New York. If
they are guilty of flirting, or attempt
by their manner or word of speech
to impress a young lady in the hope
of marriage, the manager of the
bureau fires them—promptly! The
young men receive $8 dollars a night,
$10 a day. The young lady pays all
expenses. It is estimated that 2,000
such young men are "on call" by the
bureau.

that he was in America earning, his
own way because he refused to marry
a certain Countess his family had selected for him.
His face seemed familiar, so I had
a confidential chat with the manager
of one of the large hotels. "You are
right, Ben. He is a phony. Can't
swim a stroke, but he has 'the manner grand,' and he dances divinely. On
the beach he is always accompanied
by a strong swimmer. If any young
lady yells for help the water duck
goes to her rescue and the Count consoles her when she reaches the beach.
In Fall, Winter and Spring he drives
a truck in Philadelphia for an Italian
produce and fruit commission merchant, who bye-the-bye, is a silent
partner in this hotel. It is understood
that if he permits a young woman to
get too deeply interested in him he
is to be fired."

Swimming 200 Feet From Shore
In Lake Cable, Youth Calls
For Help But Sinks Before
Aid Arrives.
Joseph T. Nist, Jr., 15, son of
Stark county's sheriff, drowned last
Thursday, while swimming in Lake
Cable, northeast of Canton.
The youth was swimming about 200
feet from shore in 20 feet of water
when suddenly he called fOr help but
sank before the guard could reach him
in a boat.
Diving equipment and a resuscita-
tor were rushed to the lake by Canton
Jiolice but the divers were unable to
ocate the body.
Grappling hooks were used by two
deputy sheriffs from a rowboat and
the body was finally recovered as both
Sheriff and Mrs. Nist were watching.
Young Nist was a student at Staunton (Va.) Military academy and with
a schoolmate had been taken to the
lake by Mrs. Nist. Upon her return,
search for her son's body was in
progress.

Tells Republicans Thom Beat
Ake By 35,0u0 Votes.
The Women's Republican club of
Canton held its annual candidates'
meeting in the Courtland hotel on
Friday night, July 22. All candidates
were introduced.
Mayor James Seccombe, Republican
candidate for Congress, made a shor.
address in which he asserted he would
be representative of the whole people.
He asserted that a Republican Congress would cause an immediate business upturn. He claimed that the people were tired of W. P. A. and P. W.
A. existence and wanted real jobs in
private industry at living wages. He
charged the Democratic Congressman
with wilfully misrepresenting the extent to which the municipalities and
other governmental sub-divisions could
sponsor W. P. A. projects. He pointed
out that the Constitution of Ohio prohibits cities and other sub-divisions
from borrowing in excess of the constitutional limitation; as a result,
most cities are nivf compelled to have
a vote of the people on all projects
of any size before work can be initiated. '
In closing, he (stated that the Republican candidate for Congress (Ross
Ake) two years :ago.lost the district
by 35,000 votes and promised to make
a two-fisted fight to recapture the
vote lost by that candidate.
HOLMNSERViCES
Held Saturday Afternoon At
Zion Reformed Church.
Funeral services for Lewis Clark
Holben, 17, son of Mr. and Mrs.
Charles Holben, who drowned last
Wednesday at Kimmel's lake near
Hartville, were held on Saturday afternoon at the Zion Reformed church.
The Rev. Melvin E. Beck officiated.
Clark and three brothers, Ignace
of Greentown, Charles, Jr., and Richard, went to the lake to enjoy a swim.
After a short time Clark called out
that he was going down and sank
from sight.
Ignace immediately went to his aid
but so exhausted himself that Charles
also sped to the rescue. As soon as
they had brought Clark to shore, they
called the sheriff's office and a few
minutes later, two highway patrolmen appeared and rushed the youth
to Mercy hospital.
Here every method possible was
tried to revive him but failed.

They Want Mosier
THE leading editorial in the Cleveland Plain Dealer on Thursday,
July 21, was headed "Mosier On
Merit." As every person of intelligence knows, the Plain Dealer is not
in the habit of praising a man in public life unless he has done something
to merit commendation.
After carefully examining the record of Congressman-at-Large Harold
G. Mosier the Plain Dealer Begins its
editorial with the following words;
"One of the certainties of the Ohio
primary election should be the renom-
ination of Harold G. Mosier to succeed himself as Congressman-at-
Large. This state has no more useful member of the House now finishing his first term at Washington. It
would be a sacrifice of trained experience to refuse him a place in the next
Congress. His defeat now would
mean that, in all probability, Ohio
would be deprived of any representation on a committee (rivers and harbors) which in every session handles
legislation of deep interest to every
section of Ohio."
The Plain Dealer lists some of the
excellent things Harold G. Mosier
has done for the people of Ohio since
he has been in Congress, and the list
if complete would fill a column. The
editorial concludes as follows: "His
record is predominantly so sound and
progressive and effective that we feel
it would be a grave error and an injustice to the state were Ohio Democrats not to renominate him for a
second term."

Local Anglers Report Fishing Good
Off Pelee Island.
Fishing off Pelee Island last Thursday, nine local businessmen and Monte Cross of Canton pulled in a string
of 215 fish.
It was necessary for the men to use
two boats and therein lies a tale.
Elias Schafer was supposed to prepare the lunch, which he did. However, due to the separation of the
boats, only those in the boat with Mr.
Schafer ate lunch.
When the boats contacted each
other around G p.m. one of the men
suggested to the occupants in the
other boat that they help defray the
expense of the lunch only to learn
that they had not eaten any of it.
Those who made the trip besides
Mr. Cross were: William Bonnell,
Dr. L. H. Hupp, Adam Willaman, Foster Crawford, Dr. L. L. Frick, Roy
Harpold, Maynard Hummel, Elias
Schafer, and Roland Smiley, all of
North Canton.

In such places as Atlantic City,
Ocean City, Asbury Park and Coney
Island the life guard secures his position through political influence or on
the recommendation of some man with
much money invested in the neighborhood. The majority of them must be
good, strong swimmers, although
there are others more at home wading
in shallow water than in breasting the
breakers.
The pay is small in many seaside
resorts, but as they get board and
room the life guards are satisfied. At
night they visit the ball-room and
dance, but they are not expected to
take advantage of dance-room
acquaintance to speak to young ladies
or matrons if he meets them on street
or beach.
Whispering "sweet nothings" into
the small shell-like ears of the damsel
is prohibited. I questioned a life
guard years ago and learned that
while young women of the "upper
ten" are pleasant they draw the line
at familiarity, and that they would
quickly report a young man if he paid
them compliments on their looks or
on the gowns they wear. "You dance
well" is permissible—nothing more.
FIRE DESTROYS BARN
Fire Department Saves Five
Other Buildings.
A large barn on the farm of Charles Warstler, four miles east of here,
was completely destroyed by fire
after being struck by lightning shortly after 7:00 o'clock last Friday evening.
Quick work on the part of the
North Canton fire department, who
were summoned to the scene, saved
five other buildings close to the destroyed barn. ,
A large straw stack and several
timbers were still smouldering Saturday morning.
Most of the farming equipment,
three horses and a bull were taken out
of the barn before the conflagration
reached its heighth.
Mr. Warstler had recently finished
threshing and part of the wheat which
had been stored in the barn was destroyed as were about 100 bushels of
old oats.
A new hay rake, mower, two plows,
and a bob sled burned when the heat
became too intense to allow firemen
to get them out.
Mr. Warstler stated that the loss
could not be estimated at this time
but is partially covered by insurance.

Various tricks are used by seaside
resorts to attract visitors, and furnishing masculine escorts is one of
them. Occasionally a romance develops, but the average father, if a man
of wealth, employs a detective agency
to get him information concerning the
young man, and if the latter is phony
the "romance" is shattered.
One chap I knew blessed the da,y he
went to Asbury Park, N. J., 45 years
ago. The daughter of a very wealthy
New Yorker saw him and engineered
an introduction. After they were
married his father-in-law bought a
dying daily newspaper and poured
several million dollars into it with
the result that when the former reporter died a few years ago he left
to his son a newspaper worth today
in the open market about $20,000,000.
The son ranks as one of the most
successful newspaper publishers in
the world, as did his dad, who had
less than $50 the day a wealthy
young woman saw him and "fell for
him." But such cases are rare, as
millions of young men are aware.

powerhouse and visit the city of Norris which is the center of TVA developments.
Alcoa, home of the Aluminum company of America will be visited Friday and camp will be made that
evening at Cades Cove and swimming
at Abram's Falls.
Climb Bald Mountain
Leaving camp early the next morning the boys will climb Gregory Bald
mountain, an elevation of 5,045 feet
and stay overnight atop the peak.
Breaking camp the next morning,
the journey will be continued to Gat-
linburg where they will swim in Little
Pidgeon river.
The next mountain climbing sortie
will be up Mt. LeComte, 6,593 feet,
where they will remain over night and
swim at Rainbow Falls.
The following day's trip will be
made to Lake Junalaska, N. C, visiting on the way Chimney Top, Indian
Gap, Newfound Gap, Clmgman's
Dome, and the Cherokee Indian reservation.
Visit Asheville
Leaving Cumberland Falls State
park, the campers will stop at Asheville, N. C, seeing Pisgah National
Forest, Lincoln Memorial university,
and Cumberland Gap which forms the
boundary for the states of Virginia,
Kentucky, and Tennessee.
Perryville Battlefield State Park is
scheduled for the next day's stop with
a visit to Danville on the way.

town, High Bridge and Frankfort.
Return August 20
They will arrive back in North Canton around 4 p.m. August 20 after
seeing the penitentiary and Ohio
State university.
The boys who make the trip are
asked to bring the following: Three
heavy blankets, one pillow, three
shirts, extra pair trousers, gym shirts,
shorts, socks, gym shoes and heavy
shoes, swimming suit, towels, soap,
comb, tooth brush and paste, sweater
or jacket, and flashlight.
Leave Knives Behind
Though not necessary, the boys may
also bring cameras, canteens and field
glasses. However, they are asked not
to bring an axe, knife or matches
since those in charge of the trip will
carry these essentials.
Referring to the knives and axes,
Coughlin said there was too much of
a possibility of doing more harm than
good in the forests which will be visited if the boys were allowed indiscriminate use of these articles.
Besides the boys, there will be leaders and a driver. Jack Coughlin will
be in charge of the group. Paul Bailey, driver, and Walt Holstrum, cook.
The charge for the trip will be $18,
which includes all meals except lunch
the first day, each boy being expected
to bring this, fees, etc.

periods. Captains of the girls' teams
are Dorothy McClelland and Annabelle Getz while Howard and Harold
Boeshart captain the boys' teams.
Watermelon Hunt

the pool and at a signal the contestants will start at a given point and
search for the weights.
Whoever finds a weight can exchange it for a juicy watermelon. This
contest is open to all swimmers.
East End Wins
The last place East Enders dropped
the league leading West Park ten, by
a close 2 to 1 score, Friday morning
at Witwer park, tallying two runs in
the final inning for their fourth win
of the season.
The game was scoreless until the
final frame when the East Enders enjoyed a rally that put them in the
lead, one which the West Park team
failed to overcome.
Despite their loss to the last place
club, Alvie Fye's club is leading the
parade with a five game margin.
All-Stars Lose
Burying a hapless All-Star team
under a barrage of base hits, the West
Park team took an easy 11 to 4 decision Monday morning at Witwer
park.
The All-Stars scored first in the
second inning but the West Parkers
came back with three in their half of
the same inning.
Undaunted, the Stars got to pitcher
McDowell for two tallies in the third
to tie the game but two more runs
by the West Park team were more
than enough to win. However, they
came back to add insult to misery by
pushing across six more runs in the
last four innings.

In Ohio are many excellent newspapers, Republican, Democratic and
Independent, and in all my reading I
have not found a line reflecting on
the honesty or ability of Harold G.
Mosier, but I have read many editorials commending "a former farm
boy, now a man, fighting for the people of Ohio on the floor of Congress
and winning his fights."

THERE are three candidates on the
Democratic ticket for Congressman-at-Large. Every candidate
hopes for a large vote at the pri- j
mary on August 9 in order that the
will of the people may be expressed
in clear and understandable terms.
Beyond our repeated declaration in
favor of Harold G. Mosier for the
nomination for Congressman-at-
Large, this column has no advice to
give in the matter of the two other
men seeking the nomination.
This contest is of unusual importance—so important, in fact, that it
may well affect vitally the future of
the Democratic party in the Congressional delegation at Washington. If
Mosier is defeated it may mean that
the Republicans will have one, perhaps two, Congressmen-at-Large from
Ohio.
Democrats who believe that the
first duty of Democrats in a Democratic primary is to select a man who
can command enough independent
votes in November to be elected—
these men and women will vote for
Harold G. Mosier. They will vote for
him because in a contest in which
Democrats, Republicans as well as
Independents take part in November
he will be the stronger candidate.
The time has gone by for shutting
our eyes to facts. Ohio is a doubtful
state, and if the Democrats hope to
carry it they must nominate men
whose convictions coincide with those
of the mass of the voters. Harold G.
Mosier is one of these men. Right
there is one of the big issues of the
primary campaign.

Choice of a Governor
IT IS undeniable that the choice of a
Governor is essentially a personal
choice. The element of personality has never been absent in a campaign in Ohio; it has never been
otherwise than logically present and
important.
The people are always faced with
a choice between men, and it is natural—nor is it undesirable—that they
should be governed very largely by
their opinion and experience of the
personal merits of the men for whom
they vote, and the demerits, or supposed demerits, of the candidates
whom they reject.
It was a poet, Oliver Goldsmith,
who invented the slogan, "Measures,
not men," but Edmund Burke, a
statesman, denounced the watchword
as "cant" and the tendency of Englishmen was to agree with him. In the
United States the principle of delegation of authority has the effect to concentrate attention upon the qualities
of individuals rather than upon the
asservations of platforms, which often
assimilate very closely.
We may well deprecate conditions
in which charges of deceit, dishonesty,
selfishness, ignorance and unpatrio-
tism fill the air. When personality
descends to detraction, no good can
result. But no amount of concentration upon measures rather than men
can obscure the fact that our public
servants must and should be chosen
for their character and their wisdom,
and rejected when character and wisdom are lacking.
The people may err in their estimate of the persons who demand their
suffrage, but it is they who must decide who is the superior person, and
they will ever demand the best infor- I
mation on that point. I
